Arch Stanton 2,303 Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) I like Riss by the way, he’d be in my team for next year. At the time we lost both Riss and Barker in the summer we’d just gone 5 points clear at the top after walloping Sheffield unless my memory has failed me. The team had a lovely balance to it and we didn’t look the same outfit after the changes. Edited October 13, 2022 by Arch Stanton 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woffy a few years ago said it cost him around £150k a year to race.. Massive sponsorship packages though so maybe they cover that? I watched his blogs last year and Chugunov had an £80k Merc... Not bad for a young lad his age..... The TV and wider media deals are worth Millions of Euro's per year... Even the "2nd Tier" will pay out £50k signing on fees.. The U23 league is pretty much being paid for by the better TV deal last season.. You only have to watch "normal" Polish TV to see several riders appearing in adverts for products during the breaks within prime time TV programmes to give a sense of the cut through Speedway has over there... Maybe one day it could get somewhere nearer the same over here... (I wont say near as that would be too much of a pipe dream)...

None of the spend on vans & mechanics & brand new bikes every year is compulsory and a lot of it will be sponsored as well. The ancillary stuff makes no difference to their speed on track but is more about keeping up with the Jones'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so sure it was,,, at the time I'm sure Tungates average was higher than Riss,,, so Tungate and Summers were a double change,,, to be a injury swap his average would have needed to be same or lower. Possibly Ipswich pulling a fast one,, cos we have a man in a position to be able to do so,,, and hope no one notices Edited October 14, 2022 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A straight swap Tungate for Riss couldn’t happen, so a double change had to be made to re-declare the full 1-7 under the points limit. The fact a replacement for Barker had to be made as well because of his unavailability is irrelevant. Besides, Riss has been fit and been riding for Redcar again for a while now. If he was simply an injury replacement wouldn’t he have to have come back in to the side as soon as declared fit? We’ve basically just made another change out of the “window”.
